Interesting, usually a very good idea to use one's own logo though.

yes, the 7ender logo is only an example, I used it because of the small letter size to show how accurate it is. Everybody knows it so everybody can compare.

I can tell you what not to try: this product from Michaels. It looked promising but it made a huge gummy mess and the decals were useless. It only comes with three sheets too. My next experiment will be Testors printable water decal sheets. Stay tuned.

You should squeeze out nearly all of the podge. There'll be no podge left over to be a mess.

Just to follow up...  I found something called Bare Metal Foil decal sheets. Just put one in the inkjet printer, spray on a couple of clear coats of Krylon and immerse in warm water. About $3 a sheet at the local RC hobby shop. Transformed a junk souvenir uke into... a junk souvenir uke with my logo on it! (Also changed the frets, tuners, nut and added a piezo pickup.)
